The War Economy Is Coming to Your Gas Tank

In this episode, Lucas and Luna break down a stark number: the average US household is paying an extra $450 per year on gas and energy due to the Iran conflict. They trace how this war premium is feeding into the core inflation reading the Fed watches most closely — which hit 3.3% in April. With energy inflation more persistent than expected, they ask whether the Fed can afford to cut rates at all in 2026, and what that means for the consumer-driven US economy. Using fresh data from May 30, 2026 — including the ten-year Treasury yield at 4.45% and the S&P 500 at 7,580 — they connect the geopolitical shock to the bond market's cautious repricing. No hot takes, just a clear look at how war costs ripple from the pump to the policy table. #IranWar #EnergyInflation #GasPrices #FedPolicy #CoreInflation #BondMarket #ConsumerSpending #USGDP #GeopoliticalRisk #InterestRates #SP500 #TreasuryYields #Economics #USEconomy #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #MacroEconomics #InflationWatch Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
